Re: [Semifinals - Team 2 vs Team 12 Singles 2] Kai vs Akutagawa

Oh god... I hope Saeki will have some more screentime. He's my fav characters from Rokkaku. Too bad about him, really. Saeki+Fuji would be pretty fun team to watch, strength exclude.

Loved Saeki. Would have thrown in him in my fav characters had he not been weaker than Fuji Yuuta in Singles.
Which is why I can't complain about him not coming to the camp. He wasn't even Top two in Rokkaku. Amane and Kurobane were even ahead of him.
Such a shame that such a cool guy could suck so bad.

But Viking Horn won't stop Jirou from taking points with MV at a slightly faster rate.

Also, Kai's Sukuchihou won't work if Jirou aims at the corners, so then he would have to run all the way up to the net and waste stamina, that might lower the speed of Viking Horn at some point, then Jirou would be able to return it eventually.

Viking Horn delays the time the ball is hit, so it forces the other person to take an action first. Unless they have very good court coverage, it's hard to catch up. It's kind of like Akutsu's shots, just that Kai isn't as flexible and thus more limited.

Can't you just wait till the ball is hit? lol

I mean: the more time to reach the net, the better for Jirou. Delaying the hit wouldn't be so useful :/

It's not like Akutsu shots, he was able to return almost anything and attack at the same time, he's not that limited.

Depends on how fast you can move towards either side. If you are fast enough to catch up to the ball, you can just wait (see Kamio vs Sengoku), but if not, the ball will just go past you. Jirou doesn't have great coverage to the sides from what we know, so he'd have to decide for a side before Kai hits, leaving an opening on the other side.

Akutsu hits after you move. Kai hits after you move. That's the similarity I was referring to. Of course Akutsu has other abilities on top of that that Kai is lacking.

Wait, but if Kai keeps spamming the Viking Horn, sooner or later Jirou would get used to it, as if it was a regular shot.
